Flamingo Wyverns are so named for their resemblance to the tropical birds with whom they often share territory. Their most striking feature is the bony black crest over their faces and snouts, larger in males, aiding both in digging up food and protection when fighting for mates. Males are duller in color than females due to their habit of wandering from nest to nest and picking from less algae-rich feeding grounds.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Felix is a friendless, hated dragon, and he's not sure why. Sure, he might have accidentally destroyed the food stock for winter... three times. But that's no reason to scorn a fellow dragon! They still let Evan into the cave, but Felix isn't even allowed that! He has to stay outside every winter, and every spring. No one's forgiven him yet, and no one has forgotten. He really just wishes they'd let it go already- the incidents happened eight years ago, and that was the most recent!
